« on: August 01, 2012, 09:56:06 AM »
I've had my fork seals, dust shields and sliders replaced 3 times in the last year..and I've currently got puddles under each fork...SO, I have ordered new parts and some progressive springs and wonder if I might get some experienced Valker to instruct/help with a reuild of my front end????
I'm sick and tired of paying someone to F it up.

I would think that Roger of R&M Works could fix you up although he runs a business.  http://www.rmworksinc.com/index.html

I talked to Roger before the last repair, He has never done a front end rebuild and he's busy, busy, busy keeping his dragster going. I'm am sure he'd help but don't want to drag him off his own project.

Do your forks need rebuilding, or are they just leaking?

Just leaking, then try the film trick. If you have already rebuilt them 3x, then maybe it's the dust (guessing) around Moses Lake.

I think that might be my problem, I've gotten the seals off ebay before, though I can't remember if they were Honda seals or not. Anyway, I've been wanting to upgrade to the progressives, so I ordered all the wearable parts from Honda and just went with progressive springs off ebay.
